There is a lounge space exclusive to guests, where local publication and personal computer with free internet access, coffee vending machine are available. Some tourism information in English are available at the lobby, which are collected by staff to respond to international tourism' needs. The hotel is ideal for its location shopping, business, and entertainment districts are all easily accessed. (0808 YT) The hotel consists of two towers. The main building is nine storeys and the annex building is six storeys. The hotel is located just 3-minute from Shinjuku 3-chome subway station, and 10 minutes on foot from Shinjuku JR station. It is in a centre of business and shopping area but the atmosphere is quite calm and peaceful.

very good location

Convenient location right next to Shinjuku-sanchome station, and not too far from Shinjuku station. Room was fine, kind of worn/dated, but ok. Good (wired) internet connection in room. Staff was friendly and spoke enough English to make for an easy check in and out. I was in the annex with a room facing the alley/street between the main hotel and the annex and street noise was not a problem. Good location for the price.

I've stayed a number of times

I've stayed a number of times and it's always good value. This time I stayed in a room with semi double bed big enough for 2 people. It was also very quiet. This was in the building next to the main hotel entrance. I'd definitely stay here again.

long walk from Shinjuku station

We, three adults and one 7 years old traveled in Japan and decided to find a hotel that is easy for us to get to the airport the next morning from Shinjuku Station. We reserved two none-smoking rooms; they put us in different floors, also told us only one none-smoking available for us. They didn't even try AT ALL to re-arrange for us when we asked nicely . We thought this was the worst service we had ever encountered during our Japan stays. Japanese are usually friendly and helpful. Moreover, this hotel is way far from walking to the main Shinjuku station, about 20 to 30 mins walk. We will go back to Star Hotel next time, their staff and location are most ideal!

Shopping is Ok in this area, but if you want to get to the Shinjuku main station, this hotel is not ideal.

Ask for a room away from traffic

Ask for a room away from traffic noise. It's a very standard (small) size room, typical of budget rooms in Tokyo.

convenient

actually the hotel not in SHINJUKU but SHINJUKU Sanchome Station via metro line "Marunouchi" and out of the exit "E1", which differs from the Toei-Line Station "Oedo-E1". front staff can speak english and were helpful. both check in and out were smooth.

A no-frills hotel 5 mins from

A no-frills hotel 5 mins from the Kabouchico district where all the lights and shops and restaurants are located. The hotel itself isn't glamourous at all. It's clean and relatively ok priced for the area. I didn't like the smell of smoke in the hallways. They do provide a laundry machine free of charge which is good if you can reserve it. Concierge doesn't speak English very well.

Non smoking room this time in

Non smoking room this time in the Annex building. Room was clean, hotel 'Floret' restaurant was ok. Staff held our suitcases until 4pm before we departed. Very helpful, spoke english well. For the price, I'd definitely stay there again if I went back to Tokyo.

Shoebox hotel room with everything

Shoebox hotel room with everything you need. Undersheet had some stains but there was another sheet to cover. Western bathroom, lcd tv. We received a smoking room even though we requested a non-smoking - too late and too tired to ask to change. Excellent service. 2am curfew and about 10mins from Shinjuku station. Surrounding streets towards Shinjuku station are all bars/karaoke and girl entertainment. We're going back in 5 days for another 2 nights.

Value in Shinjuku

I frequently travel to Japan and usually stay a night in Shinjuku on arrival and departure to give easy access to the NEX express to Narita. The prices of my usual hotels were high during my last visit so decided to try the Sunlite which was less than half the price of the alternatves. And it was perfectly adequate. The usual small room of course but then all hotels in Tokyo are the same unless you spend significantly more money. The staff were efficient and friendly, the the bed was comfortable and there as free internet in the room. Great value for money.

Time-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

It can be a fairly long crowded walk from Shinjuku station if you have luggage. There is a metro exit close to the hotel with a tunnel taking all the way to the JR lines. Use it to avoid the crowds.

Sunlilte Shinjuku - Good Value

If you are looking for a hotel primarily as a place to sleep and in a convenient location, the Shinjuku Sunlite is a very good value. It is a short walk from Shinjuku station. The rooms are utilitarian with limited amenities, but they are clean and quiet. The front desk staff are very helpful. I plan to return to this hotel for my next trip.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

Use the excellent Tokyo subway and rail system for your transportation needs. Get a day or week pass which will save a good deal of money and fumbling for change.
